[jillygirl Administrator LONG TERM WINNER in reply to sue52]

Morning Sue, I too am a rubbish sleeper. Always have been. Funny enough since i stopped smoking I could manage a half hour nap in the afternoon sometimes. Sure I feel better for that than when I try to sleep at night.

Keep happy and positive. your doing great.

[sue52 3 YEAR WINNER in reply to jillygirl]

Hi Jillygirl thank you for that, i'm certainly will try keep happy today been struggling a little, but that's to be expected i suppose, i'm sure i'll get a laugh on here though xx

Good morning Jilly and everyone else.

Grey one here today with lots of showers forecast. Might be another afternoon for getting square eyes.

3 months today!!! Yippee!!!

I've got my first dental appointment since quitting this morning so it will be interesting to hear what he has to say.

Wonder if Emjay's sorted out the competition yet?

See you later, off to see pt shortly.

[jillygirl Administrator LONG TERM WINNER in reply to andi22]

Hi andi, BIG well done on reaching 3 months. yoou must be so chuffed.

[dawlol 18 Months Winner]

Morning all, well done Andi, you must feel GREAT! Don't know why but I'm feelin a bit low

today and keep thinking of fags but I won't give in. Thank God for my little plastic one!!

Have a good day everyone.

Dawn x

[jillygirl Administrator LONG TERM WINNER in reply to dawlol]

Hi Dawn, Dont worry about feeling a bit low, I find I have the odd days like that. although they aren`t as often now. Think our bodies are still adjusting to getting healthy. Keep at it dawn you can do it.

Just think your a non-smoker now.

[dawlol 18 Months Winner in reply to jillygirl]

I know, thanks Jilly. The feelings past now a bit but still niggling!

Oh well tomorrow is another day and a better one hopefully!

Dawn x

[EmJay Partner]

Good Morning

Things got quite busy for me yesterday so I thought I'd spend some time with you all in the evening, got home and then couldn't get on here! :-X

I have a couple of messages to take care of about our fun competition but shall report back later

Congratulations to our lovely Andi 3 whole months of being smokefree and you have worked really hard to stay where you are as I know it has been a struggle at times for you Remember to let your dentist know that you are still smokefree and see that he books you in for a nice clean and polish Well done

Lesley (newromantic) you have also been smokefree for a quarter of the year now Thats brilliant To think back to the days of when you really felt the need to sit there rolling up your rollies. Hopefully you now have a sense of freedom

How is it for you today Dawn? It sounds as though you are at that point of staying quit for good but those little white sticks are shouting out as loud as they can to you to grab your attention think of them as being pretty desperate to win your heart back... Don't let them in, just smile at the feelings, turn your back and walk away Remembering that the more cravings you overcome, the stronger you will become

Sue, it's still early enough days for the odd struggling feeling to come through. This just shows how addictive nicotine is and how it affects your mind. Life throws all kinds of things at us and it is these things that the gremlins lie in wait for. When something happens, they are there straight away as that's when they think they'll catch you out :-X Just carry on doing what you are doing and stay strong. We're behind you all the way

Jillygirl, you have another milestone coming up this week too I bet you are over the moon Try and put your feet up today and rest up a little. Monday will be here before you know it and you're running round on Grandparent duties again, so rest up while you can!

I really am thankful that it is Thursday and totally thankful to you all for showing so much support to each other

[Lisa-Jane]

Morning all.. Hope everyone's well..

Bit of a grey day today outside.. Hope it picks up in a bit don't want to but gotta go out!!

Absolutely knackered today been up most of the might with missy my oldest dog as she's been ill.. Was hoping we'd avoid a trip to the vets but unfortunately looks like we might not be able to..

[jillygirl Administrator LONG TERM WINNER in reply to Lisa-Jane]

Hi Lisa-jane . Sorry to hear missy poorly. Hope she was ok at the vets. Big hugs and cuddles to her, and you of course.

[andi22 in reply to Lisa-Jane]

Hi Lisa, hope it goes ok at the vet with Missy.

[EmJay Partner]

Morning Lisa-Jane, aaaaah poor Missy Puppy-Dog, she's the cute staffie isn't she? I loved her ears Hope she's okay and that she's just feeling a tad under the weather, as we all do sometimes. How old is she?

Positive get well hugs being sent to her

[EmJay Partner]

Just to let you all know, I am onto this fun competition... I just have to tie up a few loose ends (need to speak to Pete too) He's cracked me up

How's everybody's day going so far?

[jillygirl Administrator LONG TERM WINNER in reply to EmJay]

Hi Emjay, just got in after trailing round the shops for some new trainers. No joy just bought some new trousers and jeans from m&s instead. So much for putting my feet up. I`d love to see what Pete put in the challenge he`s super at making us laugh.

Will catch up later.

[EmJay Partner]

I'm sure he'll let me share... he's the bestest head the ball in the world isn't he

Speak laters

[jillygirl Administrator LONG TERM WINNER in reply to EmJay]

I tell you what Emjay , he really does cheer me up. and I am sure that applies to the others.

[EmJay Partner]

We loves our Pete we do

[jillygirl Administrator LONG TERM WINNER in reply to EmJay]

You do know if he reads this he will get big headed. He will expect a fan club.

[andi22]

Good afternoon everyone and thank you all for your good wishes. As I said on Jilly's blog, there's no way I could have got this far without all your help and support.

Dentist was ok - just a normal checkup. He seemed pleased that I'd quit smoking. I commented on a sore gum. He said that when you give up smoking your blood rushes to the surface much quicker so if you have somewhere prone to being tender it can get worse for a time.

[EmJay Partner]

Also, when some people first stop smoking they may find that their gums bleed a bit more than usual. This is a positive sign that their circulation is returning to normal too

Glad to hear that your dentist is pleased for you Andi
